Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"I'm not the only person for whom a detailed knowledge of scams created immunity from being scammed. Troy Hunt is the proprietor of HaveIBeenPwned.com, the internet's most comprehensive and reliable breach notification site. Hunt pretty much invented the practice of tracking breaches, and he is steeped – saturated – in up-to-the-minute, nitty-gritty details of how internet scams work.</p><p>Guess who got phished?<br>(...)<br>Hunt had just gotten off a long-haul flight. He was jetlagged. He got a well-constructed, plausible counterfeit email from Mailchimp telling him that his mailing-list – which he absolutely relies upon – had been frozen after a spam complaint, and advising him to click on a link to contest the suspension. He was taken to a fake login screen that his password manager didn't autopopulate, so he manually pasted the password in (Mailchimp doesn't have 2FA). It was only when the login session hung that he realized he'd been scammed – and by then, it was too late. Within minutes, his mailing list had been exported by the scammers.</p><p>In his postmortem of the scam, Hunt identifies the overlapping factors that made him vulnerable. He was jetlagged. The mailing list was important. Bogus spam complaints are common. Big corporate sites like Mailchimp often redirect their logins through different domains, which causes password manager autofill to fail. Hunt had experienced near-identical phishing attempts before and spotted them, but this one just happened to land at the very moment that he was vulnerable. Plus – as with my credit union scam – it seems likely that Mailchimp itself had been breached (or has an insider threat), which allowed the scammers to pad out the scam with plausible details that made it seem legit."</p><p><a href="https://pluralistic.net/2025/04/05/troy-hunt/#teach-a-man-to-phish" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pluralistic.net/2025/04/05/tro</span><span class="invisible">y-hunt/#teach-a-man-to-phish</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Scams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Scams</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Phishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Phishing</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a></p>

Xamanismo Coletivo<p>"This is the most important lesson of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/scams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scams</span></a>: that no matter how well-attuned you are to <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/cons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cons</span></a>, you can still be <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/conned" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conned</span></a>.
